60th
Anniversary Celebration
The
date has been finalized for our 60th anniversary celebration. It
will be Saturday, August 26th, 2023. There is already a troop campfire
being planned for that evening since the boys and leaders will be
holding their annual planning campout that weekend. Alumni/adults
are encouraged to participate and we have room on the property for
any adults or alumni who might want to camp overnight . Events planned
included: Presentation a new Troop flag (with 60-year patch), Memorabilia
Tent/Museum/Slideshow, Woggle making workshop. Suggestions are also
welcomed.
I’m
asking that everyone who receives this email and knows past members
that have not been recently active to please contact them and tell
them if they want to be kept advised about this event, they can
send me an email at john@gollners.com along with their preferred
email address and their current phone number. I will be happy to
add them to a “60th only” mailing list.
Pictures
or short videos that anyone thinks might be of interest can be sent
to the scout hut (5742 East Cherokee Drive, Canton, 30115), or emailed
to me and I will make them available.

Serving
youth for over 50 years, Troop 465 has had a proud heritage of molding
boys into men according to the criteria listed above. Our Scoutmaster
Emeritus,
George Lingefelt, say's "If you want boys to become
leaders, you have to train them and then let them lead",
and thus began our "boy-lead troop" mind set. Jason
Norred is our
current Scoutmaster and passes these skills on. In fact, Scoutmaster
Norred is only our 8th Scoutmaster since 1963.
Since
1996, the Troop Sponsor has been
465 Alumni, Inc.,
dba Friends of Troop 465, a non-profit organization specifically
enacted to support Troop 465 both financially and philosophically.
Troop 465 has a permanent Scout
Hut, on over 3 acres, thanks to the generosity and foresight
of 465 Alumni, Inc.
Troop 465 is unique because of the tremendous support from our members
and their families. If you would like more information about joining
